Preparing for Episode II by running an elective project course titled “Human Dignity & Freedom; studying film literacy, learning English, watching the film (Wonder) and writing film reviews.

Disseminating the outcomes of Episode II. Uploading the project in Twinspace on eTwinning and uploading the school’s homepage. Planned a huge event for the whole school in our auditorium for the presentation of Episode II, where the film about the whole Episode II would have been shown, and the six students would also have presented and evaluated the visit in Spain.

The meeting finished at the local McDonalds’, where we evaluated the project and said good-bye to each other and thanked each other for a great time in GRIT. One student had unfortunately fallen ill. All six students will continue studying at Varde Gymnasium (grammar school). They promised to keep in contact – and said, that they gladly would take part in a presentation and branding of the project to the new students of 10iCampus. The Certificate of Attendance of the project was copied and placed as a extra document in the six participating students’ school certificates.
July. A video conference was held (episode III) – Among other things we discussed two important questions in the light of our project’s’ learning and teaching activities:
- Is our role as teachers to simply facilitate or can we still step in and demand high, even a little?
- Is it possible in the ever-digital world stand for deep learning or do we have to come to terms with shallow learning?
The video conference was held in a kind and professional atmosphere.
10iCampus has applied to become an eTwinning school – and has succeeded to get the eTwinning school label. (There are nine eTwinning schools all-in-all in Denmark)

Officials from the National Office in Copenhagen were especially invited to hear about the international work in the local schools in the southern part of Jutland of Denmark. Teachers, directors of education, people from eTwinning National Support Service (NSS) and local consultants took part. It was a great dissemination act 😊.
